Behind The Lens

Location
The photo was taken at home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the 2020 confinement because of Covid-19. Winter is a perfect time to eat a soup like this one.
Time
In Argentina, we use to have dinner at 9 in the evening, so probably was taken close to that time, before eating at night.
Lighting
This pic has good lighting due to I have a white led in the kitchen that was reflected on the soup.
Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon 50mm STM f/1.8 lens.
Inspiration
The confinement because of Covid-19 in Argentina had a negative aspect that was to be isolated and locked at home, with no chances to go away to other places to take pictures, but on the other hand it was a good time to learn, recreate, try and make all kind of photography experiments. This was very motivating for me to discover other sides of this subject. One of them: food photography.
Editing
I always do post-processing of my pictures. I consider that all parts of the process are important, since how you set up the camera values when you shoot, to the digital treatment with the RAW files. I like to give the last touch to the pic by doing color correction, and correcting details that make prettier what it was already pretty. Personally, I love working with sharpness, shadows, contrasts, gradients, and warm and vibrant colors in my pics, and this shot wasn't the exception.
In my camera bag
I have varied equipment. As a travel photographer, I always try to cover all the focal range, from wide to telephoto, to be able to work at any distance. I have a Canon 5D Mark III body and I use a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8ii lens for portraits and landscapes and a Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens for wildlife, to be there when I'm not close enough and get a great shot. Nowadays, having a drone is a plus to have a different point of view, so I have a DJI Mavic Pro for aerial shots. Finally, to be an all-terrain photographer, I have a GO PRO Hero 7. Up to this point, this are my essentials. In other hand, I like to experiment with other kind of photography like macro, for which I use a macrotubes with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, and I work with architecture, by using a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 .
Feedback
Transform crisis times into opportunities: explore new hobbies like cooking, for example, and try to capture with your camera that detail that make your plate something tempting.
